Beautiful grounds! Staff very friendly and helpful! Breakfast was disappointing as it was mediocre food and mediocre service, which is why we rated it “good” instead of “excellent.” Spa services expensive but worth it—spa staff went above and beyond to make our experience (couples romantic massage) enjoyable and luxurious. Our room was at the end of hallway which made it loud with the door opening and closing at all hours.

EL hotel es bonito, la habitación bien, normal ara un hotel de este nivel, llegar a la habitación era un verdadero laberinto. Desayuno bien, el servicio si me quedó a deber. Mandaron mensaje de texto previo a mi llegada para ver que necesitaba, intenté reservar en el SPA, nunca me mandaron información, ya estando en el hotel llamé al SPA y no contestaron, despues de 3 intentos deseché la opción. Personal de Bellman y Valet muy bien.

Very nice property with nicely redone rooms. A bit too much of a horse theme in halls and rooms but nevertheless nice. The property grounds are quite beautiful. A couple things that were not great: our room was a long walk from lobby which is ok for a walk but our requests for service had us waiting a very long time. Also, the lobby and all public rooms have all outside doors and windows open at all hours making it uncomfortably cold indoors. We spoke to tge front desk multiple times and days and nothing changed.

This is a wonderful hotel with a beautiful lush property. The staff is exceptional- everyone we met was pleasant and eager to help. There are great dining options right on the property which is an added bonus. Spa services were wonderful but the facility itself could be better appointed.
